Kyiv Region will tighten blackout rules. The relevant decision was adopted at a regular meeting of the region’s Defence Council.
Kyiv Regional Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko reported this.
Local authorities are to work with businesses, the municipal sector and the residential sector on tightening the blackout regime.
The military had requested the decision. It is intended to hinder the operation of the enemy’s aerial attack capabilities, especially during the long winter twilight and nights.
“Also, as a secondary aim, this creates a basis for a more responsible attitude to electricity use. Everyone understands the challenges facing the energy system at this time,” Tkachenko noted.
